I'm breathing. Just breathing. And actually moving my fingers over the keyboard right now to pen this blog. The reason I'm allowing myself time to just breathe--actually, relax and do whatever I want to, even if it's nothing--is because I just finished writing my newest book.
I finished writing it!
Okay, not really. What I've done is complete my second book in the upcoming series, and then I rewrote and revised and edited three times. Day before yesterday I sent it to an excellent beta reader, so it's in her hands now. I need to get it to my editor at Kensington by October 1. Soon after that I'll have to start on the third book in the twin-sisters series they want.
Once book number two, called DEAD ON THE BAYOU comes back to me from my sweet beta reader I'll need to revise it again before the 1st.
And of course once my editor gets the book at the publishing house, I'll need to do bits of revising again.
In the meantime, I'm going to just breathe. Maybe take a nap.
What do you do once you finish a book?

Congratulations, June! I understand your relief and pleasure at getting your latest novel into the hands of your beta reader. You deserve a break. I'll be looking forward to reading the finished product.
